Notes from our Igluski Experts

"A two minute walk to a drag lift, the Les Arolles is an attractively furnished chalet with spacious rooms. There are excellent multi-jet showers in most of the bedrooms. Unlike many chalets, the living area, dining room and kitchen in the Les Arolles are all separate, giving you space to choose how social you want to be. The chalet is spread across two floors, with rooms 1, 2 and 3 having pretty mountain views. "

Chalet Les Arolles - Tignes, France

This wonderful traditional building was renovated recently especially for guests by its owner, who also built our Chalet Arktic and refurbished the Atlas.

The refurbishments combine the rustic warmth of a traditional Savoyard chalet with wood ceilings and panelling plus stylish high-tech facilities and features. The bedrooms all have modern en suite multi-jet showers or hydro-massage baths, built-in speakers for your own MP3 player, flatscreen TV/DVD and hairdryer and some also have balconies. The dining-room and separate lounge also have large south-facing balconies, ideal for watching the sun go down or admiring the floodlit peaks by night.

Set in the most attractive part of Tignes-le-Lac, the chalet is only two minutes’ walk from the nearest ski-lift, and offers some of the best views in Tignes, across the lake to Val Claret and La Grande Motte glacier and the Tovière ridge, which is beautifully lit at night.

The owner, one of Tignes’ most famous instructors and off-piste guides, lives on the lower ground floor. Approximate Transfer time to resort: Chambery 2 hours, Geneva 2 ¾ hours

Meals - Chalet Les Arolles, Tignes

We set very high standards for our cuisine, and train our staff extensively before the season starts, to ensure that you will thoroughly enjoy every meal on your own holiday with us. We also take our Health and Safety responsibilities extremely seriously, so all our chalet and Chalet Hotel staff during the pre-season training course are trained to the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health’s Level 2 in Food Safety*. For six days of the week our staff prepare all your meals, as described below.

Breakfast

A good breakfast is essential on a ski holiday, so we provide both a cooked breakfast including your choice of bacon, eggs, sausages and beans, as well as a continental selection with a choice of cereals or porridge, fruit juices, plentiful tea, coffee and bread (and croissants in France), cold meats, cheese and preserves, which is normally presented buffet-style for you to help yourself. On our staff’s one day off a week, only the continental breakfast will be provided.

Afternoon Tea

The traditional ‘welcome home’ after a day on the slopes will be laid out for you in your chalet or Chalet Hotel, ready for your return, every day except on the staff’s one day off per week. A good cup of tea or coffee is the perfect accompaniment to a delicious slice of freshly home-baked cake and keeps hungry skiers happy until dinner is ready. As an added benefit for guests in our Chalet Hotels, our chefs prepare a selection of cakes for afternoon tea.

Children’s High Tea

In Chalets and Chalet Hotels with family guests, High Tea provides children under 13 years with a healthy menu, tailored more towards children’s tastes and puréed food is available for infants on request. High Tea is at 5.30pm, and children do not join the main adult-only dinner.

Dinner in Chalets

A tasty and innovative, freshly cooked dinner will be prepared for you six nights per week by your Chalet Host – or by an experienced and professional chef in our larger chalets – and served with a choice of wines. Our four-course adult-only chalet dinners start with canapés and an apéritif, followed by an appetiser, main course and dessert, and completed by coffee with chocolates to round off your evening. Your choice of complimentary quality wines is unlimited during the meal service, and freshly chilled water is also of course always available.

Chalet Les Arolles Reviews

My friend and I stayed in this Chalet in the winter of 2008/09. Louise and Jason were out Chalet hosts and were AMAZING. They provided the best care and superb meals. Nothing was too much hassle and they were happy to make sure we had the best week, which we did. The Chalet it's self was newly renovated and was kept to it’s owners obvious high standards. Amazing views in front of a roaring fire and a nice drink and nibble was a perfect wind down for the day. The rooms were perfectly equip with flat screen TV and a speaker which you can plug in your mp3 player. Just enough room for your luggage and perfect boot room storage. The showers were amazing with more settings that you could possibly need. Overall Ski Total, Louise, Jason and Tignes really made a great week for me and my friend. We will be back again next year!

Just got back from Tignes and have to say what an amazing chalet this is. My fourth ski trip and this was the best chalet we have stayed in to date. The chalet hosts Celina and Will were fantastic and anyone who is heading out there this season is in for a real treat!
